Members-In-Training (MIT) are physicians who have been accepted into a psychiatric residency training program that is approved by the ACGME, RCPS(C), or AOA and remain enrolled therein. Residents enrolled in a one-year primary care training program to be followed by an approved psychiatric residency are eligible for Member-In-Training status.
First Year APA Dues are waived for MITs! After that, MIT annual national dues are only $105/U.S. and $65/Canada.
Automatic MIT-GM Advancement: Members-In-Training are automatically advanced to General Member (GM) status upon completion of psychiatry residency training. APA requires that members verify they meet the General Membership requirements by completing the GM Verification Form. If an MIT is continuing training in a fellowship program, the information must be reported to APA on the GM Verification Form or by email (membership@psych.org) so the member’s status can be changed back to MIT.
